While symptoms of autonomic failure and cerebellar degeneration may be present in striatonigral degeneration, the predominant finding is parkinsonism. (See Presentation and Workup.) [emedicine.medscape.com]

E ,F Bodian, A, D x 60; B,C x 200; E x 600; F x 350 present. On coronal sections both putamina were atrophic, and showed faint brown discoloration. Several minute lacunae were present in the putamen and globus pallidus. [dokumen.tips]

Also, marked depletion of calcineurin-immunoreactive putaminal efferents was consistently present in the posteroventrolateral portions of the globus pallidus interna (GPi) and externa, and in the ventrolateral portion of the substantia nigra pars reticulata [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hyperthermia

  This case suggests that the hyperthermia of NMS is due to peripheral heat production associated with severe muscular rigidity secondary to withdrawal of striatal dopamine drive, rather than being centrally mediated by the hypothalamus, which is not involved [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical Testing and Workup Specialized tests that can aid in the diagnosis of MSA include: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which may demonstrate changes in certain brain areas. [rarediseases.org]

The evidence indicates that the more severe the involvement of the autonomic nervous system, and to a lesser extent the striatonigral system, the poorer the prognosis. [ndrf.org]

Prognosis Striatonigral degeneration progresses slowly. Some patients have normal life expectancy. Research The NINDS supports and conducts research on disorders of the brain and nervous system such as striatonigral degeneration. [brainandlife.org]

The majority of patients diagnosed with MSA do not have a good prognosis with an average survival rate of 9 years following disease onset. [emsa-sg.org]

(See Etiology and Pathophysiology.) In 1933, Sherer described 2 cases that likely represented striatonigral degeneration. However, this condition was first definitively outlined in 1961 and 1964 by Adams et al. [emedicine.medscape.com]

For a discussion of epidemiology and pathology, please refer to multiple systemic atrophy (MSA). Striatonigral degeneration presents predominantly with parkinsonism with mild cerebellar and pyramidal and signs. [radiopaedia.org]

Given the relative rareness of MSA and the infrequent misdiagnosis of the disorder, it is not surprising that there is a paucity of careful epidemiological investigations of MSA that allow one to identify predisposing environmental factors. [multiplesystematrophy.org]

Epidemiology MSA is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an estimated annual worldwide incidence of about 0·6/100,000, rising to 3/100,000 in those aged over 50 years. [ 5 ] Some say that there is no gender difference. [ 2 ] However, others report [patient.info]
